移就的关联性解读

Relevance Interpretation of Transferred Epithet

关联理论认为语言交际是一种认知过程,人们是通过相关的知识来推导进一步的新信息,从而理解话语。移就是将形容甲事物的词语移用于形容已事物,修饰语之所以能够从甲义移于已义,是因为甲、已两义之间具有一定程度的关联性。解读移就,必须在甲、已两义之间找到相关点,经过合乎逻辑的推理才能完成。而关联理论的“明示——推理”原则正可以阐述移就的建构。

Relevant theory assumes that speech communication is a kind of cognitive process. People infer the new information through relevant knowledge, thus understand the speech. Transferred epithet transmute the modifier A to modifier B. The reason is that, to a certain extent, relevance does exist between A and B. To interpret Transferred Epithet, the point of relevance must he found and logical reasoning is also necessary. While the ostensive inference principal can best explain the form of Transferred Epithet.
